MA Drawing
Camberwell has a renowned tradition of drawing at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The diversity and cross-disciplinary nature of drawing, driven by continuing rapid technological developments, invites new dialogues with the critical practitioner and poses particular questions for the artist interested in exploring their ideas through the issues and potential of drawing.
Drawing can be the simplest means by which to engage and relate to an animate world. It allows initial responses, ideas and imaginings to be manifested both materially and virtually. Engagement with drawing takes place in time, whether the duration is five minutes or five years. It allows one to see the world as it is and as it might be, to think visually and to explore visual possibilities. Drawing remains resistant to definition primarily because it is fundamental to all aspects of visual practice, two, three and four dimensionally. But drawing can be considered as 'the visual thought process' exemplified in all visual practices. In the making and placing of marks, two and three dimensionally, drawing has ultimately led us to the electronic realm, which in turn continues to discharge responsibility and incite engagement. Drawing as visual thinking, unconstrained by means or method, is both rudimentary and vital in developing human awareness of 'reality' in a synthesis of natural and artificial.

In this series, each drawing records the days when it was drawn. The drawings represent time as a repetitive progression, and present a visual interpretation of our everyday routines.
